Tens of thousands of people in New Mexico were without power Thursday as the first major winter storm of the season rolled across the northern two-thirds of the state and into Colorado, bringing with it snow and fierce winds that forced schools and government offices to close.

Some areas of New Mexico have already seen over 2 feet of snow, and it's going to keep falling into Saturday. Here's the forecast.

Light to moderate snow is expected Saturday morning across the Denver metro and eastern plains. By the afternoon some of the snow could change over to rain as we see temperatures climb into the 40s. By Saturday evening the snow and rain will come to an end.
